Some people really undervalue our players, and to be honest I’m not really sure why.
The Columbus proposal is pretty fair, but it would be a swap of Andersson + Floridas pick for Sillinger and Columbus’s pick.
Often times as home team fans people look passed the “good” things about player X and seemingly devalue them based on the things they’ve hated about that player for a while. The issue is other teams value the player based on what they’ve done, value, age and growth in a new market/system.
Andersson has value, he was the hottest commodity pre-deadline and unfortunately Calgary didn’t entertain offers because they were certain they had a shot to make it and needed Andersson to be apart of it.
His worth, especially this last year is very high and I know there’s going to be interest going into the draft.

Any idea of the Flames are trying to move up in the draft? I’m sure it flies without saying, yes, but wondering if this is something they are actively pursuing and if the opportunity exists. Ie; other teams just might not have interest in doing so, or in what the Flames can offer.
